Saturday night Elon Musk did this:
Dogecoin fell by about 25% after Musk s performance on SNL, since it has been his comments and tweets that have been driving the cryptocurrency which started off as a joke.
But then on Sunday, he said his company, SpaceX, will launch the “DOGE-1 Mission to the Moon” in the first quarter of 2022, with the company accepting the cryptocurrency as full payment for the lunar payload.
The DOGE-1 Mission to the Moon will involve Geometric Space Corporation mission management collaborating with SpaceX to launch a 40kg cubesat as a rideshare on a Falcon 9 lunar payload mission in Q1 2022. The payload will obtain lunar-spatial intelligence from sensors and cameras on-board with integrated communications and computational systems.

Elon Musk has announced a SpaceX mission to the Moon paid for in Dogecoin, just a day after the cryptocurrency tumbled in response to the multibillionare calling it a hustle while he hosted
The DOGE-1 mission is due to launch early next year as part of a rideshare aboard a Falcon 9 rocket. It will consist of a 40kg cubesat replete with camera, sensors and onboard computational systems aimed at gathering what sponsor Geometric Energy Corporation described as lunar-spatial intelligence.
Saturday night brought something really rather extraordinary as the worlds of finance and entertainment came together at least for a while. Here is The Hill on Saturday Night Live which was on NBC in the US.
Musk appeared on the show’s “Weekend Update” segment as fictitious financial expert Lloyd Ostertag. When asked about Dogecoin by co-host Colin Jost, Musk explained it is “the future of currency.”
“It’s an unstoppable financial vehicle that’s going to take over the world,” he said.
“I get that, but what is it, man?” co-host Michael Che asked.
“It’s a cryptocurrency you can trade for conventional money,” Musk responded.
